Hi -
Seeking yr advice for a fairly slim X installation. Right now I have
only the xfntbase fonts installed, and I get plenty of "can't get font
courier-..." or "adobe" or "helvetica" messages when starting apps. The
Contents file tells me several such fonts are hanging around in xfnt75

Who's in charge of ucbmpeg and ucbmpeg_play ? These packages are
still a.out.
I've tried to rebuild them, but there's little doc (read no doc), and
it needs Tcl and Tk. Which versions ? I had problems with both Tcl
7.4 Tk 4.0 and Tcl 7.5 Tk 4.1. I had to link with Tcl 7.4 and 7.5
plus Tk 4.1.

Thank you to all who responded with congratulations, etc.
There were so many responses that its just easier to send
thanks to the list.
P.S.: My wife and son are both doing very well, although we

Can anyone tell me how to _Permanently_ change the hostname on my
machine ???
If I issue the hostname command: hostname newname
the node name is set to newname - HOWEVER after a reboot the original
name returns.
Where is this info written ?
I had this same problem. I ended up going back to the 1.99.7 kernel, which
does not have this problem. I haven't yet tested the newer kernels.

I would avoid upgrade of few packages when I upgrade my system from a

Packages I should not upgrade are "base", "netscape" and few others. "base"

reset them (and "base" is not required to upgrade

edit /etc/hostname so that it contains the hostname that you want.
put hostname `cat /etc/hostname` in one of your rc.* scripts if it
isn't there already.

Edit the single-line file /etc/hostname so it holds your
machine's desired (new) hostname.

I've recently installed debian linux on my portable and have run

Thanks.
